Thanks to the Trustees, accessible seating is now available near the southeast door to the sanctuary. Two upholstered chairs with arm rests are available for seniors and those with limited mobility. Space for wheelchairs and walkers is [...]
September 27, 2009 from Bethel Lutheran Church to Bridge Square. The morning started with some light rain, but the sun came out for the walkers and not until after the walk did the rain come back – a great day for all! There were a lot of UCC folks there to walk. [...] Story time with the children was presented by Mary Carlson from UCC and Javier Aguilar of ISLA (Interfaith Service to Latin America). ISLA is a program supported by many in our congregation.

Linda remembers her grandmother keeping it full fresh flowers from her garden. It looked beautiful for our worship at Valley [...] Apostles notch late-inning win!!! Oh the drama. The Apostles were up. The Apostles were down. Then, UCC’s favorite sons pulled another rabbit out of the hat, scoring two with two out in the bottom of the seventh to claim a 17-16 victory over Emmaus Baptist Church. A breathless Greg Muth was camped on [...]
The record setting heat did not deter the berry hungry fans from attending the Annual Strawberry Fest yesterday. We had over 40 people in attendance and more strawberries than we could count. Holly Fisher provided music that got the crowd clapping. (Well, Cissi was clapping anyway) Thanks to all who attended and [...] When it comes easy early, you often set yourself up for a big disappointment. That’s what happened to the Fighting Apostles last week. We scored eight runs in the first inning, but a talented Trinity Red team shut us out the rest of the way. With some clutch hitting in the late innings, [...] We heard beautiful music today in our Assembly room thanks in part to Betty and Andrew Een who recently helped our church obtain an outstanding Steinway piano. Theo Wee and Andrea Een played a duet with violin and piano followed by a rousing piano duet by Chris Brunelle and Theo. We were truly surrounded [...] Apostles win in convincing fashion. Nothing like a cold, October rain in June to wake up the Fighting Apostles. After almost three weeks off, we came out swinging and defeated the capable Bethel Lutheran team 18-3 in five innings.
